...know when I've read an article that sounds as sensible as Ford's assessment of the job of the President, and of the Veep as well. I hope President-elect Reagan was listening...
...hour and his wife attended services at the Bel Air Presbyterian Church and then went into seclusion. The President-elect spent the week riding, chopping wood and relaxing with Nancy on their California ranch. But from midweek on, Ronald Reagan's emissaries streamed into Washington, packing the "redeye" overnight flights from the West Coast. Said one adviser: "A lot of tired people are trying to get things going."

I say, when Jimmy Carter's out of a job, this nation is on the way to recovery. Like any president-elect, Ronald Reagan carries the baggage of pregnant campaign promises to office this January. Unlike others before him, however, "Ronnie" betrays a suspicious amount of faith in his grab-bag of rhetoric about economics--tax cuts, defederalization, and Laffer Curve explosions. Less government is the promiscuous rabbit he promises to produce from...
